We review it
High-quality required!
Starting in July, our team will carefully review the submissions and select the speakers for the IPEM Cannes 2025 edition.
We let you know
Full transparency!
At IPEM, we aim to offer everyone a chance to speak. While not always feasible, we’re committed to supporting your path to becoming a future speaker.
WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY
- Content is richer when it comes from within. IPEM speakers give meaning to conferences and make them more relatable.
- An opportunity to share knowledge and experience with influential professionals and investors from around the world.
- A chance to network with other industry leaders and gain valuable insights into the latest trends and innovations in the private equity market.
- The ability to help shape the future of private equity by sharing unique perspectives and ideas.
- The excitement of being selected as a speaker at the premier industry event.
- The opportunity to discover the French Riviera in January and experience the village atmosphere of Cannes.
Submission Process
To apply to speak at IPEM Cannes 2025, you need to connect to your IPEM Account, then fill out the online form with:
• Your name
• Your contact information and contact person (for organizing speaking engagements if you’re selected, asking additional questions, etc) if different.
• Preferred sub-theme and/or summit topic.
• Summary of your experience in the industry.
Submit your application by October 10th, 2024.
Review Process
Each year we receive more than 500 quality applications and unfortunately can’t say “yes” to everyone. Since we only have under 200 speaking slots, our selection process is becoming highly competitive.
To ensure you align with our conference themes and meet IPEM’s high standards for content and delivery, please read the following rules:
1. You must have legitimacy in the theme for which you are submitting your application.
2. The applicant must have relevant experience and knowledge in the industry (have you ever talked in front of a camera, in a panel, etc., and what is your most relevant experience?).
3. To promote diversity and provide equal opportunities to all, we will prioritize the following groups at IPEM:
• International profiles (non-French).
• Women in private equity (gender diversity).
• New faces and names at IPEM.
4. All submissions must be received by October 10th, 2024, and any incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
Selection Process
Our selection criteria are designed to ensure that our event brings fresh perspectives and diverse voices to the forefront:
• We are particularly interested in hearing from new speakers who can provide innovative insights.
• We value diversity in all its forms and welcome speakers from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
• Additionally, we are looking for C-level executives and thought leaders who can contribute their expertise to IPEM Cannes 2025.
• If you have a unique perspective or innovative ideas to share, we encourage you to submit your proposal.
